This is Trump's Great Gatsby themed Halloween Party at Mar-A-Lago.

He's living his best life while millions of Americans face hunger.

Although they voted for him, not one raggedy-toothed MAGA was invited.

BREAKING: Senate GOP just BLOCKED Democrats' straightforward bill to pay our troops.

If Republicans still refuse to work with Democrats to reopen the government and prevent health care costs from skyrocketing, they should at the very least be able to work with us to make sure our troops get paid.

RFKjr gave orders to Dr. Susan Monarez for her not to speak to US Senators. He put a gag order on the senate-confirmed CDC director. Scream this story from every rooftop. Impeach and remove RFKjr.

From Wired a few weeks ago. A lot of the people who I was told for years were the adults in the room are being asked how they want to be remembered, and that answer is very clearly "cowards."

Trump talks about a “wonderful secret” the two of them shared. What is he hiding? Release the files!

The Roberts Court is overtly devoted, as a matter of judicial and political philosophy, to supporting the policy agenda of Donald Trump. These are DISCRETIONARY rulings - the Court is ruling, repeatedly and usually without explanation, that EQUITY requires that Trump’s agenda advance.
Here's my updated chart of #SCOTUS's rulings to date on emergency applications from the Trump administration.

See if you can spot the pattern...

Woody Allen is also in the Epstein birthday card book so uh, this tracks pretty well with what we know about people who find common cause with Russia
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry condemned Woody Allen for speaking at a Russian film festival, calling his participation in the event "a disgrace and an insult" to the victims of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Incorrect.

The Base of the Democratic Party is Black women, at 92% last election.

White people haven't been The Base since the 60s. When Civil Rights were enacted.

The Base is who votes the most consistently. And we white people statistically vote Republican or don't vote AT ALL.

Unsurprising bad jobs report. Just 73,000 added in July, and most of those were health care.

Even worse, May and June jobs numbers revised down by 258,000. Awful.

Companies don't want to create jobs in Trump's chaos economy with weakening rule of law and rampant corruption.
